Netlify Identity: Verify JWT

--

This one is messed up.

Netlify Identity currently has a mentally deficient offering. A user can log in via the Netlify Identity Widget on the free plan, but currently, there is no way for you to verify the token from that login, because Netlify doesn’t given you the secret used to sign the JWT token.

You have to pay in order to set your own JWT secret that you will need to verify the JWT tokens.

DO NOT use Netlify Identity if you are not on a paid plan. It’s useless for any real production use.
